'A powerful and thoughtful novel' Louise Fein, author of Daughter
of the Reich 'A gripping tale of wartime sacrifice and innocence
lost ... in the cause of freedom' Jina Bacarr, author of Her Lost
Love 1942, France. As the war in Europe rages on, Adele Ambeh
dreams of a France that is free from the clutches of the new
regime. The date of her marriage to a ruthless man is drawing
closer, and she only has one choice - she must run. With the help
of her mother, Adele flees to Lyon, seeking refuge at the Sisters
of Notre Dame de la Compassion. From the outside this is a simple
nunnery, but the sisters are secretly aiding the French Resistance,
hiding and supplying the fighters with weapons. While it is not
quite the escape Adele imagined, she is drawn to the nuns and
quickly finds herself part of the resistance. But her new role
means she must return to Vichy, and those she left behind, no
matter the cost. Each day is filled with a different danger and as
she begins to fall for another man, Adele's entire world could come
crashing down around her. Adele must fight for her family, her own
destiny, as well as her country. Praise for The Girl from Vichy: 'A
